A metallic bucket is in the shape of frustum of a cone.If the diameters of two circulear ends of the bucket are 45 and 25 cm respectively and total height is 24cm find the area of metallic sheet used to make the bucket.Also find the volume.

Height of the bucket, h = 24 cm  (Given)

Let the radii of the upper and lower ends of the bucket be r1 and r2 respectively.

Given, r1 = cm and r2 = cm.

Surface are of bucket 

= Curved surface area of the bucket + Area of base of the bucket

 = π(r1 + r2)l + πr2

= π [ (r1 + r2)l + r22 ]

 = [ (22.5 cm + 12.5 cm) 26 cm + (12.5 cm)2 ]

 = (35 × 26 cm2 + 156.25 cm2)

= ( 910 cm2 + 156.25 cm2 )

 = × 1066.25 cm2

= 3351. 07 cm

So, the area of metallic sheet used to make the bucket = 3351. 07 cm
